Jeremiah|9:11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons; and I will make
the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.Jeremiah|9:12 Who [is] the wise man, that may understand this? and [who is he] to whom
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth
[and] is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?Jeremiah|9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before
them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;Jeremiah|9:14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim,
which their fathers taught them:Jeremiah|9:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will
feed them, [even] this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.Jeremiah|9:16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their
fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.Jeremiah|9:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning
women, that they may come; and send for cunning [women], that they may come:Jeremiah|9:18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may
run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.Jeremiah|9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are
greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast
[us] out.(^) JEREMIAH | Holy Bible | Old Testament | King James | Book 24
